The present church is the third Church of Ireland church on this site. The first was built in the 17th century, the second in the early 18th century and the present building was completed in the 1830s. The church has a set of eight tubular bells which are played every Sunday. St. Croneybeg had her religious cell in the 6th century close by and St. Mary’s Abbey, which was founded in 634, was also located in the vicinity.

Urglin Church Teampall Iorchuilinn
A church was built here in 1659 and there is evidence to suggest that there was also an older church building previously on the site. There are views across Counties Carlow and Wicklow to Lugnaquila Mountain and down to the Blackstairs. The plaque over the door in Latin states: ‘This building in its old age being a complete ruin, was rebuilt, and its tower beautified, by the rector Thomas Brooke, a.d. 1820.’
